What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in a pop-up toy?

Back

In a pop-up toy, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the toy is released, demonstrating energy transformation.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position or state.

What is an example of energy transformation?

Back

An example of energy transformation is converting potential energy to kinetic energy, such as when a compressed spring releases its energy.
